Halloween costumes

I am a fan of Halloween. It makes no sense if you think about it. No sense at all. Because of its nonsense, I rally behind the idea for such a day. My strongest point in favor of Halloween is the creativity that it demands of adults. As a grown-up, the sky's the limit in terms of what you can become. As a grown-up with children (OR nieces/nephews), the creativity required becomes more complex. 

Among my favorite suggestions are the following:

• Captain Hook (me) and Peter Pan (2 yr old Seth)

• Sully (me) and Mike Wazowski (Seth)

 

By Pixar

• Man in Black (me) and Inigo Montoya (Seth) or we can switch it up

Princess Bride

• Hamburger (me) and Hotdog (Seth)

• And the list continues...

Today as I swung by Wal-Mart to pick up some things, I couldn't help but walk through the three aisles of Halloween merchandise. Look what I found!

My elation was short-lived. I became irked by the glaring predicament that this was only available for men. I thought to myself, "why are there no sizes for women?" I searched through the other costumes with the hopes of finding a woman Hot Dog. As expected all the women costumes were skimpy sailor gal, "fun" nurse, Princess Leia (with a slit thigh high), etc. The gall. On principle, I may go as a hamburger or hot dog. Time will tell my final decision.



Note: I do not like to purchase a Halloween costume because I like the challenge to put it together as cheaply as possible. HP shindigs are different events.
